Good or Bad, Nader Backs Edwards

oi...

The story via Politico.


This could cut both ways. I do not know how conservatives feel towards Nader, but I know how Democrats and liberals feel. Many respect Nader, but at the same time, we feel Nader went a little... unhinged. My hope is that this brings out the 2.28% of Iowan voters who voted for Nader in 2000, 29,000 people. Maybe a few progressives who were afraid of the Southern accent might caucus for JRE now.

Iowa is going to be really close. The most recent poll shows Obama up by a few percentage points, but this poll disagrees with just about every other poll that has been released in the past couple of days. The short and the long of the data is that any of the top 3 can win.

Note: Obama better be careful. He is being VERY aggressive right now, and it is annoying a number of Edwards supporters. Obama dissed Edwards for being a trial lawyer... and he dissed Edwards for having unions that backed him up by running commercials highlighting the positive aspects of Edwards's campaign... Obama should be careful about the bridges he is burning.
